Need a seat?


There are 53 beds in the pediatric ward.
There are only 10 chairs for the mothers to sit on.
And the chairs are all broken, as you can see.

The mothers have to stay at bedside to dispense medicine, feed, bathe, entertain, take temperature. The nurses do not do that here. So mothers either stand or sit in the cribs too.

There are many needs for this ward....broken windows, no curtains, nebulizers, stethoscopes, spaace heaters, heating lamps, oxygen machines, few medications, oxygen saturation meter, glucose reader. The list could go on and on. I didn't ask people for financial support for this trip. But these are things that the people need here. Logisitcally this will be challenging to do, but think and pray about it.
